How to Tell if a Toy is for Boys or Girls [ article ]

One of the coolest things about this infographic, was that it got reposted by Neil Gaiman, the creator of The Sandman, Stardust, and Coraline, himself. I know who probably just found the post by doing a Google search, but it was still pretty cool to see someone so talented directly linking to Dueling Analogs. He also tweeted it too!

(As for pink being a girls colour – the previous commenter – that’s a rather late construct. I’d say that if it’s pink, it’s probably not a toy for anyone, considered how sucky girls toys usually are constructed. Unless it goes into the left category.)

This image is both pointing out that this idea is outdated and also being funny by mentioning that sex toys are not meant for children.
